Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

We've broken through the 50 barrier, usually ups the tempo slightly at this point so should finally see the end of this game in about 30 to 40 minutes

gscotti: It's a bit funny you went out of your way to reward a bullsh#t DRM scheme by giving Steam your money. When I see regional/country-based pricing differentiation implemented using DRM, I become livid. No, scrap that, I'm becoming Hulk and I smash.

astraldemon: I'm sorry but I don't see your point here?
I like to play other games, games that are not on GoG so it's wrong if I buy it on cheapest place I can find? And I had US VPS anyway because of my work...
Regional pricing/locking is one of the downsides of Steam. Average user doesn't know how to use let alone know VPN's exist and you shouldnt really have to use one to buy a game for a fair price (Us Aussies get ripoffed more than most not only Steam but EA etc)

FrodoBaggins: Just woke up. Have I missed Cognition?
No-one's missed anything. The second Keaneing has taken place, and we've all been dumbfounded witnesses. That's it - nothing else has happened.
47. RCR is moving albeit slowly...
Americans must be buying RCR at breakfast time :P

Wow. I went to work and came back, and Retro City Rampage is STILL on sale. At least I didn't miss anything.

EX-Deimon: Errrrm, also for the people complaining about the Steam price differences between Euro/US etc, I agree however, just do what I do - wait for the amazing steam sale. Nuff said, to be honest. Again, far more important things in life to worry about. Example, when is La-Mulana gonna appear.
This, this, and this.

mm3n: the regional pricing differences can be maddening sometimes,

gscotti: Regional pricing differences? Stop right there: I have strong feelings about that kind of crap, and it involves phrases along the lines of *"fsck that shit, fsck it with the Burj Khalifa, without lube!"*
As a European, I've been always at the receiving end of these "regional pricing differences" and I've grown very allergic to them.

And to think that so many people maintain that "Steam's DRM is not that big of a deal". If it discriminates by region/country, it is a big, bad bad deal.
At the price of ONE retail game here in Switzerland, be it AAA or not, I could usually buy 2-3 retail games elsewhere in europe, up to 4 in the US, and up to a DOZEN here on GoG. Guess who gets more money from me?
Yep, screw regional pricing, especially for digital goods.

The only thing you missed was the sound of crickets....they've gone now since even they got bored of RCR's cover on the main page!

Not a thing, aside from mounting frustration.

Hehe. I *thought* Retro City Rampage was up before I went to sleep, but I wasn't sure. It's been up a looooong time. :P
